Description

Not sure if this is a client issue or a kbfs issue but we appear to be having BSOD's with KeyBase Client on the latest Windows 10 Insider Build.

SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION in cldflt.sys

Disabling the KeyBase client from running on start up prevents the BSOD from happening.

If anyone needs any information gives a shout. I have a few minidumps from this BSOD and AaronGilliland also uploaded some on the microsoft forum linked above.

Research direction

Start with the supplied minidumps and the linked Microsoft forum report, then investigate the Keybase client startup path on Windows 10 Insider Build 14936. Done means identifying the client or kbfs interaction responsible for the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and confirming that the BSOD no longer occurs when the client starts.
